Featured Reviews

Provides detailed event investigation and endpoint control but needs better Mac support and UI improvements
I find the advanced behavioral analytics feature in Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a little gimmicky, as I don't usually find much use for it. The advanced behavioral analytics feature needs to be optimized to be more user-friendly and easier to work with. We don't specifically look for the customizable dashboards within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR; rather, we get the logs on our SIEM solution, QRadar, where we have created the dashboards. We also have Tableau and Power BI, so we don't utilize any dashboards on the EDR front. I would like to optimize the incident response area as well, especially when comparing my experience with CrowdStrike, which is relatively more responsive and easier to navigate when there are multiple hosts involved. Other areas of improvement for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR include its lack of support for Mac devices.

Exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues
The solution's interface appears very simple, but it is very complicated in the back end. So, it removes all the complications that an MSP or an MSSP would normally have. The solution's maintenance depends on whether you run it like an MDR platform where you provide the detection response part for the customer. That would normally be the MSP part. Sometimes, you have customers who are just happy to get an email and tell them what the problem is, and they fix it themselves. If there's no in-house expertise, the MSP or the MSSP can do the maintenance. If there's in-house expertise, it's just a matter of advising them. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to deploy."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"It was easy to set up."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"The solution is exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues."
 

Cons

"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The interface could be improved."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The solution's security awareness training and phishing are very United States-focused and don't work very well in Australia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"I like Guardz's pricing model because it's very cost-effective and has no long-term commitments."
